I’ll make a Tigers fan of him yet. We are the English side whose style most resembles the All Blacks after all.
Cal is of course spot on – the forwards played superbly and the first try was a cracker.
Didn't they have some kind of drug-testing at the 95 RWC?
I’m actually not sure if big J was ever tested whilst an active player – maybe you Kiwi lads can help out on that one?
The details of the illness that destroyed his kidney function are even now still rather vague – there isn’t much concrete in the public domain?
He was a player worth the price of admission on his own back in 95 – but doubts are always going to surround his health problems I think.
So Tigers have elected to play the QF at Welford Road – but ticket prices go up 20% to compensate the loss of revenue from not moving the tie to the Walkers Stadium. I think I shall watch it on TV.
